I feel exactly like you. I don’t know how I make it through each day. After 5 days I had to stop the Effexor as it was causing me to constantly ruminate about things that happened more than 25 years ago. I have headaches every day and I am very shaky on my feet. I have a hard time eating. I stupidly weaned off Effexor after 25 years but have not been able to restart due to terrible side effects. There are no decent hospitals to get help here in Arizona. They only have lock down facilities.
Hope you get an appointment soon.

I have an appointment with an actual Doctor, nothing against nurse practitioners or anyone else, but after everything I've been through, just not good experiences with them.
But I have an appointment on the 10th at 10:45. So thankful it's a morning appointment. I just pray that she will be able to help me.
I'm going to be alone from Monday till, I think Thursday. I'm worried about being alone while I'm feeling like this.
I am seriously so scared to be alone. I don't have friends, and absolutely no one I can talk to. What if I do have a nervous breakdown and I'm alone?
